I'm having problems trying to open Outlook 2000. Every time I attempt to open Outlook, it shows the 'Outlook 2000' start up screen and then disappears. I've: completely removed and reinstalled it; repaired it; installed Outlook 97 and then upgraded to Outlook 2000 -- however, none of these things work. I can only open Outlook 97. Has anybody got any ideas how I can get Outlook 2000 to open? The operating system on the machine is Windows XP Pro.

Some other software is taking up all the resources. See what you have running in memory and turn off what you do not need.

One thing I have noticed in Win Xp is that the user will need Power User or Administrative rights to the workstation.
Outlook needs to load some of the user-specific options and XP doesn't allow a standard user to load software.
In my organization, we have had to make some users local admins on their workstation for them to be able to do their day-to-day work.

Hope this helps,

DF
